My Blogging Philosophy

I'm currently studying abroad in Beijing, China with the ACC program. This program is extremely language intensive. For six months I will be studying solely studying the Chinese language. Moreover, we take a pledge to only speak in Chinese. This pledge purports to not only make us speak in Chinese but eventually think, analyze, and dream in Chinese.

Thus, I think that while I will be maintaining this blog the majority of it will not be in English. Instead, I plan I using Chinese and images. The language of images is another dialect I've been working to attain fluency in, so I will be posting low-quality videos on this blog too that hopefully will give a sense of what's going on in my life, my thoughts, and ACC.

That said, I'm tired. Might be going out to Sanlitunr, the big club/bar street in Beijing, but I really don't want to. Yet, I only have the next 18 hours to speak English with my fellow ACC students! Some perhaps I will go out.
